As a dancer, I'd dance with broken toes. Just like acting, you compete with yourself and drive forward. That discipline helped in Hollywood.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't speak English, so I cannot foresee a career in Hollywood. But I do see myself more and more as an actress rather than a dancer.
I'd go dance at talent shows, and because I was young I had the upper hand on a lot of other crews. People thought it was cute. I used that to my advantage.
A dancer's life is hard - it is so physically demanding, and at any moment, you could have an injury that could end your career.
I truly believe the discipline I have honed as a dancer will bring me more opportunities as an actor.
I grew up dancing my whole life, and I always kind of perceived that's what I would do professionally. But when I caught the acting bug, I knew I needed to go with no turning back.
I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.
The best thing about working on a movie with dancers is that we would get to have dance parties all the time!
I wanted to do dance with the same seriousness as art was done and acknowledged, not with the entertainment factor that is always connected to theater and film.
I wouldn't call myself a dancer. I would never even dance in a club - I can't move my feet! I'm terribly shy about moving. I feel comfortable in my body, but dancing is like learning another language.
I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.
